Chen Zexuan raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, sniffing the faint fragrance of tea, and said slowly: "Two years ago, this prince sent someone to pay attention to her, knowing that she was not the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and also knew that she was married on behalf of her. ”

"After she jumped off the cliff of despair, she was rescued by this son."

In three or two sentences, Chen Zexuan said briefly and casually, as if he was saying what he had tonight so naturally.

Gu Nianshi's body trembled because of shock.

He looked at Chen Zexuan suspiciously, and his lips twitched: "That...... So where is Ali now? ”

Chen Zexuan took a sip of tea and said softly, "You've seen her, and more than once." ”

Gu Nianshi quickly thought about it, and said anxiously: "She is in the palace? ”

However, if Gu Jinli was in the palace, how could he not recognize it?

Besides, he was hanging out with a group of men all day long, either patrolling with the Praetorian Guards or practicing, so how could he have been in contact with any woman?

Could it be that Gu Jinli has become a little palace maid?

Chen Zexuan was very satisfied with Gu Nian's reaction, because the more anxious he was, the more he cared.

No matter who you are, as long as you have a weakness, you are easy to be pinched.

Qi Hao is like this, Gu Jinli is like this, and even Chen Zexuan himself is also like this.

Otherwise, how could Mo Li use Gu Jinli and eat him to death?

"Although she is not in the palace, she is far away and close at hand." Chen Zexuan let Gu Nianshi continue to stand, and he said slowly: "She has treated the Queen Mother, diagnosed the emperor, and even Yin Suwan is also her patient. ”

"This son said this, but the second son of Gu knows?"

"You...... You mean......" Gu Nianshi's voice was dry and hoarse, and it took a while to restrain his trembling voice, and he said tentatively: "Lin Sheng? ”

There is no one who has treated the queen mother and the old emperor.

But in addition to Wei Liao, I am afraid that the "Lin Sheng" who unveiled the emperor list from outside Beijing more than two months ago has only been more than two months ago.

"Yes, that's her. King Ning's ......'Little Male Pet'" The smile on the corner of Chen Zexuan's mouth was mocking and cold, and his tone was accentuated in the last three words.

Gloomy and harsh.

"No, it can't be!" Gu Nianshi clenched his fists and said with red eyes: "Ah Li was heartbroken by Qi Hao at the beginning, even if she is alive, according to her temperament, she will never return to Qi Hao's side!" ”

"And, that face of hers ......"

Gu Nianshi has lived with Gu Jinli for four years, he doesn't dare to say that he fully understands this sister's mind, but he knows that she seems to be gentle like water, has no quarrel with the world, and looks like she is easy to get along with anyone, and anyone can bully, but in her bones, she is stubborn and resolute.

There is a kind of person who is cold and cold-hearted when he doesn't love, and once he falls in love, he eats into his flesh and bones, and he is out of control.

Qi Hao hurt her so deeply back then, she would rather die than stay in King Ning's mansion, how could she go back after two years?

Although time is a good medicine to heal wounds, Gu Nianshi feels that the wounds in Gu Jinli's heart are quite deep, and it is extremely difficult to recover naturally with the passage of time.

"Her appearance can be changed, as for why she wants to return to Qi Hao......" Chen Zexuan deliberately slowed down his speech, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Second Prince Gu is so smart, can't you think of it?" ”

Regarding the rumors between Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, there are many versions inside and outside the palace.

As we all know, Qi Hao pampered Gu Jinli to the sky, didn't care about gossip, and refused to marry Yunguo for her sake.

This affection touched both men and women.

As for Gu Jinli, in the eyes of people in the outside world, she has always ignored Qi Hao and has a cold attitude, which makes people unable to tell whether she is in love or hate.

Thinking of the first two times he saw Gu Jinli, Gu Nianshi only felt his heart twitch a few times.

Last time, he met Qi Hao and Gu Jinli in the palace, and when he thanked Qi Hao, Qi Hao said that he was entrusted by "Lin Sheng".

Gu Jinli's expression was a little flustered at that time, and she bypassed the topic again with a haha.

Last time, the fourth aunt and Gu Jinyu died, and after he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay respects, he rode back to the palace on horseback and was met by her.

She looked at him with sparkling eyes, and he looked speechless.

Later, when she heard that the fourth aunt was gone, her eyes were still red.

I didn't notice her strangeness at first, but now that I think about it, everything makes sense.

It turned out that it was not Qi Hao who saved him, but Gu Jinli!

Chen Zexuan just said that Gu Jinli's appearance was disguised, Gu Nianshi closed his eyes, and tried his best to recall Gu Jinli's current face.

Indeed, her eyes are unmatched.

Supporting the edge of the table, Gu Nianshi moved his lips and said with difficulty: "Ah Lishe...... Do you want to take revenge on Qi Hao? ”

"It's natural, after all, no one can let go of what happened back then." Chen Zexuan would not tell Gu Nian that he and Mo Li had tampered with Gu Jinli's memory, let alone reveal Gu Jinli's identity as the princess of Fengguo to him.

He also poured a cup of tea for Gu Nianshi, and Chen Zexuan continued: "No matter what Qi Hao did in the first place, it is a fact that he killed him and Gu Jinli's children. ”

"Just for the sake of the child who hasn't had an accident yet, there is nothing wrong with Gu Jinli wanting revenge."

Gu Nianshi is no longer the simple teenager he was back then, and it is impossible to say anything meaningless like "when is the time for retribution", so he can't persuade Gu Jinli to give up revenge, leave Qi Hao, stay away from the rights and wrongs in the capital, and start a new life.

However, he is also not eligible.

Because, it is not his body and mind that hurts, if he preaches in that kind of saintly posture, he will not have a backache when he stands and talks.

Chen Zexuan hid Gu Jinli for two years, and when he came to find him, he definitely didn't just tell himself that she was still alive.

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down and asked, "Xuan Shizi, the purpose of your meeting with me tonight shouldn't be just to tell me, right?" ”

"Now that the words have come to this, this son of the world will not go around the bush with Gu Ergongzi." Chen Zexuan raised his chin, and the fan in his hand tapped the table with a tap: "The ministers of the court and the central government have a high demand for the Eighth Prince, and this prince needs you to cooperate when the time comes." ”

"The prince of the world means ......" For this "time has come", Gu Nian felt a kind of uneasiness.

"Tomorrow, the emperor will promote you to the official leader of the Praetorian Guard." Chen Zexuan stood up and said slowly: "This prince wants you to make it convenient in the palace on the day the eighth prince seizes the throne." ”

"After the matter is completed, the Eighth Prince will definitely be indispensable to your benefits!"

The words are clear enough, the eighth prince stayed in Beijing, and Qi Hao went to the battlefield again, even if there is no straightforward "plot to usurp the throne", but Gu Nianshi seems to have seen a group of chaotic ministers and thieves breaking into the palace.

Gritting his teeth, Gu Nianshi was still struggling and said: "Li Huilong is a righteous person, and he is rigorous and down-to-earth, as an orthodox leader for many years, he is loyal to the emperor, and it is impossible for the emperor to replace his orthodox position." ”

Chen Zexuan smiled "hehe", "If a person dies, won't the position of commander be vacant?" ”

"Bang!" All of a sudden, Gu Nianshi sat on the chair, and his body seemed to be emptied for a moment.

Generally speaking, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

But in the Praetorian Guard, Li Huilong never scolded him for being sad and Gu Nian, and treated him very kindly.

Gu Nianshi didn't expect that Xuan Shizi, who had been peerless, unparalleled and resourceful in everyone's eyes over the years, would be such a ruthless person who would kill the innocent and upright Li Huilong......

I don't know what it's like in my heart, I just feel that it's very blocked, and after a long time of thinking about it, I said: "Is this what Shizi means, or is it what Ali means?" ”

His voice was slightly floating, as if he were out of his body.

"Is there a difference between what this son means or what she means?" Chen Zexuan kicked the question back as if he had heard a joke.

Actually, there is a difference.

According to Gu Nianshi's position in Gu Jinli's heart, she never wanted to pull Gu Nianshi into this swamp of revenge.

After all, even if Gu Nianshi has changed his identity and personality now, he is still the pure and flawless second brother in Gu Jinli's memory.

She didn't want Gu Nianshi to be contaminated with these dirty things, and it was best for him to never get blood on his hands.

Even if he had been stained with blood in the past two years because of something he had to do, Gu Jinli didn't want him to do something that went against his mind and bottom line because of himself.

However, Chen Zexuan wanted to give Gu Nianshi an illusion.

That is, the relationship between him and Gu Jinli is now so close that they can become one.

Therefore, what he means is what Gu Jinli means, and what Gu Jinli means is what he means.

No matter whose idea it is, it is Gu Jinli's idea.

Of course, when Chen Zexuan made an appointment with Gu Nian tonight, he would not let Gu Jinli know.

If she had known, she would have been unhappy again.

In Chen Zexuan's eyes, Gu Nianshi was just an insignificant person.

For inconsequential people, he naturally won't put it in his eyes and heart, and it is impossible for him to be estranged from Gu Jinli for the sake of Gu Nian.

On this night, the left voice "Gu Er Gongzi" and the right voice "Gu Er Gongzi", Chen Zexuan was in order to remind Gu Nian, Gu Jinli also called him "Second Brother", so that he had no room to refuse.

Gu Nianshi lowered his head, and a few strands of hair that slipped down blocked half of his face.

He clenched his fists tightly, as if he was fighting fiercely inside.

Chen Zexuan was not in a hurry, playing with the fan, waiting patiently.

"...... between you and Ah Li" Gu Nian raised his head, his eyes were even redder than just now, and asked the last question: "Ally, or?" ”

If they are just allies, then they should be carefully weighed when they think about it.

After all, listening to Chen Zexuan's meaning, he wanted to support the eighth prince to ascend to the throne, although overthrowing Qi Hao could be regarded as indirectly avenging Gu Jinli, but there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in the world.

Because of the profit gathered, because of the profit scattered.

What if Chen Zexuan wants to attack Gu Jinli again after the matter is completed?

If Chen Zexuan saved her from the cliff because he fell in love with Gu Jinli back then, and supported the Eighth Prince just to help Gu Jinli take revenge, then the resistance in Gu Nianshi's heart would not be so strong.

Even though Gu Nianshi has considered the problem well in the past two years, his mind was still seen through by Chen Zexuan at a glance.

He was silent for a while before he said an ambiguous but sincere sentence: "She is the most loved person in this life." ”

That's right, when he wasn't told his identity by Mo Li before, he regarded Gu Jinli as his lover.

Later, he learned that it was a brother and sister relationship, and she was his relative.

Regardless of their relationship, they should be the dearest people in this world.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, in addition to Gu Huai and Gu Chengen, people who don't know the inside story of others may think that Gu Jinli is really Gu Huai's illegitimate daughter raised outside before he dies.

After Gu Nianshi destroyed the Gu family, he thought that he had no relatives and no reason in this world, and he would be alone for the rest of his life, but now he suddenly knew that Gu Jinli was still alive, and he also had a half-sister who depended on him.

"This thing...... I'm going to go back and think about it. Gu Nianshi stood up and walked out of the room directly.

I didn't refuse directly, but I agreed.

Even if he felt that it was not worth taking the risk for a sister who only had half of the same blood in her body, Chen Zexuan had a way to force him to comply.

As for why he didn't go to Li Huilong, it was because Li Huilong was really too upright, and coercion and temptation could not move him to serve Chen Zexuan.

People who are too upright are like stinking and hard stones in a pit, and if they get in the way, they can only be disposed of.

Those who obey me, those who prosper against me perish.

Chen Zexuan looked through the window as Gu Nianshi got out of the White Jade Building, turned over on his horse, spurred the horse away, and smiled coldly.

After Gu Nianshi returned to the palace, he saw two small Praetorian Guards in his residence coming back from outside wiping their tears.

Only after this question did he know that Li Huilong had led his brothers on a night patrol tonight, but somehow he stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground.

At first, everyone thought that he had tripped over a stone, but after helping Li Huilong up, they found that he was out of breath.

According to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Li Huilong had a heart attack and died suddenly.

Gu Nianshi was stunned, and returned to the room in a distraction.

Sitting on the bed, he recalled the words Chen Zexuan had said to him tonight, and suddenly a chill surged all over his body, and he shivered.

It turned out that he had entered Chen Zexuan's bureau early in the morning.

Whether he agrees or not, he can't escape.

Because at the moment when Chen Zexuan hit his idea on himself, Li Huilong was doomed to death.

If he promised Chen Zexuan, then Li Huilong's death was out of normality.

Otherwise, Li Huilong would have died in an accident.

And that crime will be planted on Gu Nianshi's head.

Fortunately, Gu Nianshi agreed to Chen Zexuan for Gu Jinli's sake, so he saved his life.

I was very depressed, but I had nowhere to vent.

Raising his hand to sweep it, Gu Nian swept the tea set on the table to the ground.

"Bang", there is a mess on the ground.

On the 16th, the old emperor was a little sad after learning of Li Huilong's sudden death.

After all, Li Huilong is dedicated to his duties, loyal and reliable during his reign, he is like a barrier in this palace, protecting the palace and the old emperor.

Without this barrier, the safety of the old emperor in the future will be in question.

However, the position of the orthodox leader of the Praetorian Guard cannot be vacant, so there is no need to wait for Concubine Mei to blow the wind next to the old emperor's ear, and the old emperor himself directly sent a message for Gu Nianshi to go up.

Gu Nianshi's ascension was logical, and no one dared to raise objections, but many people secretly lamented that his life was good.

escaped the full house of beheading, not to mention, and was promoted.

At the same time, in the military camp on the border, Qi Hao looked down at the map on the table and listened to Liang Kuan's announcement: "Lord Wang, the person who went to fight in Yunguo this time is Pang Guang. ”

"Pang Guang is Pang Feng's eldest son, and he has been in the military camp all the year round, this time their father and son went into battle, and Pang Guang took the lead."

"However, today is Pang Guang's first battle."

"Oh?" Qi Hao's eyes dimmed, and he said slowly: "Although the overall strength of the Yun Kingdom is not as good as that of the Qi Kingdom, Pang Feng is a rare general. ”

"If he hadn't been stubbornly guarding the Yun Kingdom all these years, the Qi Kingdom would have taken the Yun Kingdom a long time ago."

"The tiger father has no dogs, this king heard that Pang Guang is not only proficient in the art of war, this person is also extremely vicious, and likes to make some side doors, you tell Du Jiang, let him be careful when dealing with it."

"Today is the first one, and we must not be left behind."

Whether it is on the battlefield or in the court, Qi Hao never fights unprepared battles.

Du Jiang was sent to be the striker, and Qin Feng was left in the capital, on the one hand, to protect Gu Jinli's safety, and on the other hand, to help Qi Hao keep an eye on every move in the capital.

The Eighth Prince was ambitious, Chen Zexuan had bad intentions, and when he learned that Yun Guo had given Qi Guo a war letter, Qi Hao had already thought that after he left Beijing, he would give those people the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and see the needle.

It is impossible to say that there is no concern in the slightest.

After all, Chen Zexuan's methods, Qi Hao has been taught.

Therefore, except for Qin Feng's eyeliner, the entire dark camp was left in Beijing by Qi Hao and spread all over the place.

Those restless ministers in the court, if there is any trouble, Qi Hao will know it as soon as possible.

Of course, the Ning Wang Party, who has supported him for many years, except for a few ministers who pretended to defect to the enemy in order to obtain information, others will also be Qi Hao's eyes and help him keep an eye on the front and harem.

"Yes, lord." Liang Kuan answered, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Qi Hao took a pen and circled the map to find out the terrain that was favorable for the battle.

Although he has been on the battlefield for many years and has never been defeated, he has never been arrogant.

Only by knowing each other and knowing oneself can one not be defeated in a hundred battles.

He can't completely rely on his previous combat experience, after all, the opponents he has encountered are different, and the battle situation is different.

Even if it is the same opponent, the opponent must have studied their own tactics.

Therefore, in every battle, he studied the battle plan with an extremely rigorous and serious attitude, analyzed the enemy's situation, and strived to put an end to any mistakes on the battlefield.

Everyone only thinks that he is a general who should be born on the battlefield, but they don't know how much effort he has put in as a "god of war".

After all, the slightest mistake will lead to a catastrophe.

His life is secondary, and those soldiers who have followed him for many years, the people of the country, will suffer.

So, with a heavy responsibility, how dare you be rash?

Qi Hao sometimes frowned, sometimes sighed deeply.

He was behind the enemy line "in the midst of strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away", and Du Jiang led people to fight hard in front and move forward bravely.

Battle flags fluttered and drums vibrate.

Yun Guo is a red armor, and Qi Guo is the same color as Qi Hao, the commander of the military camp.

Red as fire, black as ink.

The black armor is more and more majestic and domineering under the sunlight.

The most important thing is that even if you are wounded, you will give the enemy the illusion of invulnerability!

The two teams are like two long winding dragons, entangled and intertwined.

You come and go, and you don't let each other go.

The soldiers were red-eyed one by one, and the sound of fighting resounded in the sky.

Pang Guang saw that he was facing an unknown junior today, so he rode on a tall horse, brandished the spear in his hand, and sneered at Du Jiang: "Tsk, aren't you all in the country gone?" Why did you send such a little minion out of you? ”

"Where's your manager? He's not going to hide like a shrunken turtle, is he? ”

In the end, he is young and vigorous, if he is replaced by a veteran who has fought for many years and is calm and serious, how can he say such words that he surrendered his identity?

Of course, it is inevitable that someone will do something in order to deliberately provoke the other party.

People are in a hurry, and they are prone to chaos.

Pang Guang said these words, firstly, he really looked down on this Du Jiang who didn't know who he was from the bottom of his heart, and secondly, he wanted to provoke Du Jiang, and then took the opportunity to kill him.

If the striker was hung up so easily, it would not only boost the morale of the soldiers of Yunguo, but also thwart the spirit of the enemy.

Moreover, you can also imagine how rubbish the army led by Qi Hao this time.

Where is Du Jiang who can be provoked successfully in just a few words? He ignored Pang Guang's words, but the sword in his hand was even more ruthless.

Qi Hao fought against Pang Feng once back then, and he could barely compare with Qi Hao.

And Pang Guang, a fledgling little hairy head, where is it worth Qi Hao to come out in person?

The spear grazed Pang Guang's ear, and when Pang Guang sneered wantonly, Du Jiang cut off a strand of his hair.

Pang Guang was shocked, he didn't expect Du Jiang's marksmanship to be so fast and accurate, and he also put away his posture of underestimating the enemy, and fought solemnly.

Although his gun is out quickly, it has a great drawback, that is, it is unstable and inaccurate.

Du Jiang seized the opportunity, first stabbed the horse in the stomach with a shot, and when the horse fell to the ground with a neigh, he turned the head of the spear and stabbed the spear directly into the back of Pang Guang's shoulder blade when he landed.

"Damn little bastard!" Pang Guang scolded angrily, like a bloodshot fighting in his eyes, and the spear poked vigorously, as if he wanted to get Du Jiang off the horse before he was willing.

Du Jiang lifted it slightly, stood on horseback with one foot, and kicked Pang Guang's spear with a roundabout kick with the other foot.

"General!" Seeing this, Pang Guang's soldiers immediately protected Pang Guang's body, and three or five people surrounded Du Jiang.

Du Jiang was not afraid, he actually raised his foot to hook Pang Guang's spear, opened the bow with his left and right hands at the same time, and solved those soldiers in three or two strokes.

When the soldiers of Qi saw Du Jiang kick Pang Guang off his horse, their morale became more and more high, and they were even more courageous than just now.

In contrast, the soldiers of the Yun Kingdom saw that their general was injured and pulled off their horses, and they were suddenly a little powerless.
